Every file that can be produced by the build must not be in the source
package (.orig.tar.gz). So, remove all the jars and .class from the
source package.

Look at some packages at Alioth's pkg-java project, we build nearly all
our package with 'cdbs' + 'ant'

http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/

Here is a typical debian/rules with cdbs to build package with ant:

#!/usr/bin/make -f
# debian/rules for libcommons-jexl-java (uses CDBS)

# Uncomment this to turn on verbose mode.
#export DH_VERBOSE=1

# This is the debhelper compatibility version to use.
#export DH_COMPAT=4

include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/ant.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/simple-patchsys.mk

#JAVA_HOME_DIRS       := /usr/lib/kaffe
JAVACMD := /usr/bin/java-sablevm
ANT_HOME             := /usr/share/ant1.6
DEB_JARS             := junit commons-logging gnujaxp /usr/share/ant1.6/lib/ant-launcher.jar
DEB_ANT_COMPILER     := jikes
DEB_ANT_BUILD_TARGET := jar
#DEB_ANT_TEST_TARGET := test

LIBRARY=commons-jexl
VERSION=1.0
